from New York it's the cube covering blockchain week now here's John furry hello everyone I'm John Frey here on the ground actually on the water in the majesty boat here in New York City part of blockchain week New York City I'm here at Maggie's ooh who's he whose abyss development a decentralized launched a huge party here we're on a four story boat it's like the Titanic but it's in New York you can see hopefully we won't hit me icebergs but no icebergs ahead in blockchain thanks for joining me here on the water thank you John it's actually really funny you mentioned Titanic first time we came and saw the bow we're like oh my gosh this boat look exactly like Titanic let's really do something about it because see Centro is really about technology both being forward and so yeah we I think we pulled a very crazy party right now so tell us about the event this is a really cool event how big is the book just give us the details you ran the event so I know it's hard to run these kinds of events a lot of moving parts you're giving away two aston martin cars on a bracelet that's gonna light up and turn off based upon if you want or not so is it how's it work okay so this boat has a thousand people on here right now plus our team member plus a boat people so we have about eleven hundred people here and this whole event was run in the last five weeks the team has been working so hard and right now this bracelet that you see it syncs with the music so beats per second it syncs the colors and everything with the music and 11:45 today we're going to be giving away to Aston Martin's the bracelet will dim down one by one and the five bracelets that remaining will go on the stage everyone's gonna cheer out the crowd we're really gonna get everyone you know cheered up and this is not just like you know us giving away Aston Martin's this is really about bring the whole blocking community together we want to be say hey this is a small community let's all get United the cars are just a way for us to thank our partners and everyone I found about you know and I get a little nervous when I see these kind of launch parties because it reminds me that comm bubble but what's different about what's going on with you central is you guys have a business that's up and running this is not an ICO there's no fundraising going on you guys are actually executing and this is important because you guys are doing this as a community take a minute to explain the role of the blockchain community for you guys how important that is right so if you think about a blocking community right now we have the different coins we have the different exchanges the community is very fragmented and that is unfortunate because you know someone like my mom doesn't really understand the term blockchain or cryptocurrency but at the same time it's kind of like Internet 2.0 where you know these technologies are so new there's a lot of people who are so passionate on one of them and just like we just want to spend every day trying to make this better so the central role is really a bell okay let's do all these partnerships so we have over a hundred partnerships almost 200 now all signed and these are the people that we work with like every single day and what kind of partnerships are they they code development together as an open source or they're using the Jax platform you guys made some significant announcements today yeah I'm the Jax Liberty cube ice cube for cold storage I like the cube name not be confused with the cube as in the media cube us but this is a unification strategy talk about the news what did you guys announce tonight all right so today we announced two things we announced at Jax Liberty renounced Jax unity and then we announced the other things but that are part of that whole essential project so the Jax Liberty is the platform it's kind of like an app store all of our partners are gonna be part of this app store and we're just gonna have over 200 partners and more going on onward and every single the apps and integration will be here and we'll make it kind of like a game for the new users what's the bet value proposition for people to join the network it's a free platform we're not charging anyone anything and you know we're probably gonna do that forever so for us the model here is really about bringing all of these different projects together whether it be exchanges whether it be cryptocurrency Wallis whether it be different new sites encrypted messaging all of these things that touch every part of our life we want to say hey we want to bring freedom and power back to you and freedom to us is really your ability to control the information you know I'm very impressed with anthea see I interviewed a couple times in the Bahamas and he's got a great vision and one of the things that he talked in the presentation was kind of not will say buried but I think is the most important notable thing is that he talked about a new Internet infrastructure okay and the wallet is central to this new Internet infrastructure you guys are doing something really pioneering where you're actually creating a unification around infrastructure in network effects with currency this is a super important thing do you guys is this part of your mission or is this part of a just part of the product in your mind our mission like I said is really about brain freedom back to everyone right now if you think about you know how Facebook has their social data how Google has our browsing data all these different entities have our data and we feel like that's really the only way so what descent who is doing is we're saying that we want to create a one platform where we can bring all these different partners together and in doing so we're able to allow people to you know just being able to take control of your life that that is our mission we want to empower people so your pitch basically is join dee central if you joined essentials platform you join the community that wants to unify that's pretty much sounds like the pitch yes we want to empower people and we want to unified whole block G and a world community now you talk about your background how did you get here I mean like you just wake up one day and say hey I'm gonna get in the blockchain I mean what's your background got a legal background how did you give so my background is in business and then business law so I practiced for two years as a business lawyer I may not look like one but you check my record and they were covering lawyers that's okay exactly recovery and then so what I really want to do is all about impact I went into law school because I wanted to do a lot of impact I realized a lot of it is one-on-one not really doing it going to technology and I saw I found my passion and then I found blockchain I was like oh my gosh like this is it does this really you know we are sitting at the forefront of a technology that might be able to just change millions or billions of people's life and a lot of it people are talking about it if we're not really explaining it properly or building things properly I fell decentral is really at a forefront to make sure that is being done that's awesome what are some of the partners you guys have that are notable can you share some of the names and what they're working with you guys on so we're from Toronto Canada proud Canadian and internal we have a all new Co you're a into probability blocking space we have poly mas they do security platform we also have Bri the blockchain Research Institute that's led by Tapscott you know he wrote a very famous book we also have a shift that's you know just doing the KYC AML we also have the big ones like hoeing base like just a lot like block that's the consulting firm we have a lot of different partners that are just like all to cure one ones because of Anthony's background because of our experience in the space for the last four years people trust us people trust our wallet people want to be part of our sea and be part of our mission while we're on the water gonna get you go back to all the partying and schmoozing that's going on great event thank you for putting it on and and I think the community is very very robust out there right now we're having a good time yes outside is like a zoo and I'm really excited that you're here and we're able to meet some of the really great people and you can interview them Maggie thank you for coming on the cube on the water okay with the new cube product with the central unified essential has a new offering on cube is here covering and I'm John Fourier your host thanks for watching [Music]
